I'd have to disagree with you in part. West Virginia is unlikely to go for the Democratic candidate more strongly than the national PV goes in a strictly two-party race. I do have to wonder about the 66 of 174 predictions that have it as a Strong GOP state though. Absent a third party that fractures the anti-GOPers I can't see WV as any better than Lean GOP.
Based on what? Against a cultural conservative I can understand this argument though it is still rather flawed, but what appeal does Giuliani have in West Virginia?
